Chapter 145: Who asked me to call him Master before?
At the same time, all the supporting characters in this scene arrived at the designated point and looked at Yu Zhile, waiting for the next instruction.
Yu Zhile looked at Zhou Yuesheng and felt that all the sounds in the world had disappeared, as if he was in another world.
Soon, the slight sound of a shutter brought her back to the real world.
"Dad, you're back." Yu Zhile turned his gaze to Yu Haiguang beside him.
Yu Haiguang glanced at Zhou Yuesheng and responded with a smile.
"Niece, your Uncle Ning and Uncle Zhou are here too, why don't you welcome them?" It was rare for Ning Tan to speak sarcastically in front of so many people.
Yu Zhile rolled his eyes at him and said with a fake smile: "Welcome to my home, uncle. Please sit wherever you want."
After saying that, she let go of Li Ran's arm, turned around and asked everyone to rest first, and she went to the beach to inform Yu Wanqin.
"Hello uncle, I'm Li Ran, a member of the village's kelp farming guidance group." Li Ran smiled politely and introduced himself.
Yu Haiguang said cheerfully: "Xiao Li is really a handsome man."
At this time, Yu Chi came running over, hugged his thighs, and rubbed them affectionately.
Yu Haiguang bent down, picked him up and walked into the yard, asking, "Is today a big day? Why are you all gathered at my house?"
"Reporters from the provincial newspaper came to interview our sideline business group." Zhang Wenxin explained.
Yu Haiguang then noticed Qiao Yu and his wife. He recognized Qiao Yu as Yu Zhile's high school teacher and quickly greeted them.
"Comrade Yu, long time no see." Qiao Yu said with a smile.
She was deeply impressed by Hai Guang. He was the first parent who wrote to her to express concern about his child's daily life at school. They met at a parent-teacher meeting.
After a few words of greeting, Yu Wanqin, with red eyes, trotted into the yard.
Yu Chuyue gave everyone a wink, and everyone understood. They waved to Yu Zhile who was two steps behind, and then left the Yu family quietly and orderly.
The courtyard suddenly became empty.
"Zhi Le, we have almost collected all the materials." Qiao Yu whispered, "We will leave first and will not disturb your family reunion."
Yu Zhile felt the strong gaze from behind, scratched his palm nervously, and suggested: "Teacher Qiao, I'll take you to the bus."
Qiao Yu originally wanted to refuse, but ox carts were not as easy to find here as in the city, and she was pregnant and it was impossible for her to walk back to Haidong Town, so she had to agree.
After leaving the courtyard, Yu Zhile's tense body suddenly relaxed and he let out a long sigh.
Qiao Yu noticed her change and joked, "So you're hiding from people."
"The main purpose is to send you there." Yu Zhile smiled embarrassedly.
Qiao Yu and Editor-in-Chief Qiao smiled at each other, stopped teasing her, and asked a few questions about the Autumn Harvest Party.
"The sideline group has arranged two scripts, one of which is about daily health knowledge with a more humorous style." Yu Zhile replied, "Other programs include poetry recitation and chorus by educated youth, folk songs by villagers, etc. The initial screening will be carried out after the registration closes at the end of the month."
"There are a wide variety of program types, and they should be very exciting." Editor-in-Chief Qiao commented as he took notes.
Yu Zhile wanted to invite the two to come and see, but when he saw the size of Qiao Yu's belly, he hesitated.
"I'm carrying twins, so my belly looks bigger than that of an average pregnant woman. My due date is December." Qiao Yu understood her expression and took the initiative to explain.
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhile formally extended an invitation and informed them that Yu Peilan and his wife would return to the village, and suggested that they go with them.
"Okay, we will be there on time so that the babies can also feel the new trend of the times." Qiao Yu touched her belly gently.
As they spoke, the three of them arrived at Master Yu's house.
As soon as he saw Yu Zhile, Yu Erye went to the backyard to lead the cow without saying a word, harnessed the cow to the cart, and took Qiao Yu and the other man on board and set off.
Yu Zhile stood there and waved until they could no longer see him. Then he slowly walked towards home, kicking stones as he walked.
On the day she learned on the radio that Zhou Yuesheng's operation was over, her heart beat wildly when she heard the sound of a car, and she felt a little disappointed when she found that the person coming was not him.
However, when she suddenly saw him in person today, she felt very uncomfortable and suddenly didn't know how to get along with him.
As he walked, Yu Zhile stopped, squatted under a tree and counted ants, muttering: "Go back, no, go back..."
After a long while, she threw away the twig, scratched her hair in annoyance, and suddenly found herself shrouded in a shadow.
"Are you hiding from me?" Zhou Yuesheng half-knelt down and held her face in his hands.
The two were very close, so close that Yu Zhile could clearly see the fine lines on his lips.
"Are you avoiding me?" Zhou Yuesheng asked again.
Yu Zhile suddenly came to his senses and denied it, "No, I have other things to do."
At this moment, she felt her head was hot and she couldn't tell whether it was Zhou Yuesheng's high temperature or her face that was hot.
"I'm going to find Yuanyuan. I have something to tell her." Yu Zhile made up an excuse, stood up, endured the numbness in his calves and hurried away.
Only when she saw the outline of the sideline group's courtyard did she gradually slow down her pace, pat her face and adjust her state.
Zhang Wenxin was the one who noticed her coming to the courtyard and asked, "Why are you here? I thought you and Zhou Yuesheng had a lot to talk about."
Her words earned Yu Zhile a teasing look from Yu Chuyue and the others.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You don't have so much to say." Yu Zhile didn't look her in the eye.
Zhang Wenxin caught a glimpse of a familiar figure appearing on the path outside the courtyard and suppressed a smile: "Okay, if you say no, then no, let's continue rehearsing?"
When she was assigning roles, she took the rehearsal time into consideration, and tried to assign each group to two plays, so that even if she had to temporarily call people from a certain play to rehearse, the work would not be completely put on hold.
This was the situation today. Everyone present was considered to have taken half a day off. If they were not rehearsing, they would be studying in the book corner.
"That's a good idea." Yu Zhile responded.
She immediately started dividing the areas.
The courtyard is simply furnished, without many flowers, plants or trees, and can better recreate the stage one-to-one, making it a more suitable rehearsal place than Yu's home.
They started rehearsing from the first scene, and Yu Zhile, as usual, first drew the characters' movement routes and subsequent position changes.
"As usual, move according to the route." She clapped her hands as a signal, "The first rehearsal of the Mountain Girls begins."
The four main characters in the first act appear one by one, stand still and speak their lines, move, and continue speaking their lines, quickly completing the first scene.
After all, it was everyone's first time participating in a stage play and they had no experience, so the problems were more numerous and more serious than they had imagined.
Yu Zhile first expressed his affirmation of everyone's performance, and then pointed out each person's small problems one by one.
"Chu Yue's movements are a bit stiff. She could relax her body a bit and express her emotions more when speaking her lines. This will allow the audience to quickly immerse themselves in the drama." She gave a more detailed evaluation of Chu Yue.
Yu Chuyue frowned and sighed: "It's easy to do real work, but it's hard to do fake work."
Her funny expression made everyone laugh and at the same time broke the heavy atmosphere brought by the serious comments.
Yu Zhile immediately realized his mistake and switched to more entertaining comments after the second rehearsal.
The courtyard was filled with laughter, which made her temporarily forget her emotional entanglements and direct the rehearsal more seriously.
Zhou Yuesheng watched her laughing and playing with her friends, a smile appeared on his face, and he turned and left.
At the same time, another person who never took his eyes off Yu Zhile was Li Ran. He caught the moment when her attitude changed and was secretly delighted.
The rehearsal lasted until the villagers got off work, and then everyone dispersed and went home, all smiling as they left.
"Yuanyuan, let's go home and have dinner." Yu Zhile went into the book corner to look for someone.
There was an opened letter in front of Lan Yuanyuan. She looked absent-minded and didn't react at all.
"Yuanyuan, what's wrong?" Yu Zhile patted her shoulder.
Lan Yuanyuan's thoughts returned, her expression sad, and she said, "He wrote to me again, telling me the reason for his leaving. I don't know whether I should believe him or not."
On the night she received the letter for the first time, Du Sheng sent someone to take away the money and cloth. She thought she would never have anything to do with him again, but she received another letter from him today.
Yu Zhile thought for a while, then told her about his previous encounter with Du Sheng at the supply and marketing cooperative, and repeated the conversation word for word.
After hearing this, Lan Yuanyuan was silent for a long time.
"Sister Lan must know that he has been by your side all these years. Let's go find Sister Lan and have a good talk with her." Yu Zhile suggested.
Lan Yuanyuan held her hand and thought, and finally decided to go into the city.
Yu Zhile asked Chen Zhao to go home alone for dinner, and told her family that she had to go to town for something.
Then, she rode her bike with Lan Yuanyuan and disappeared from Chen Zhao's sight.
When they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, lunch was almost over. Hu Lan was busy calculating with her abacus and was surprised to see them.
"Mom, I saw my dad." Lan Yuanyuan stated her purpose directly, "He said he didn't abandon us on purpose."
Hu Lan was stunned for a few seconds and took her to the private room on the second floor. It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when the mother and daughter appeared again, and they looked like they had shed a lot of tears.
"What he said is true, but mother hasn't forgiven him, and I don't want to forgive him yet." Lan Yuanyuan felt much better.
Yu Zhile responded: "It's up to you, but shouldn't we have our second meal of the day?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Yuanyuan's stomach growled.
The two of them burst out laughing and hurried to order food. After the meal, they went back to the village together with Zhang Hailan and the others.
When we got home, it was completely dark.
Everyone went to bed extra early tonight. When Yu Zhile came out of the bathroom, steaming all over, there was only a faint candlelight left in the yard.
She blew out the candle and walked towards the room in the dark, but Zhou Yuesheng hugged her waist and blocked her in the corner.
"You've been avoiding me for a whole day." He said with a hint of resentment in his tone.
The refreshing smell of soapberries made Yu Zhile's heart beat faster.
Zhou Yuesheng didn't get a response, and thought of the fair and gentle Li Ran and the uncle she called him during the day, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Do I look old?"
"Hmm?" Yu Zhile didn't hear clearly.
Zhou Yuesheng's mind snapped. He lifted her chin and asked, "Uncle? Who told me to call you master before?"
